This Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into
this 26th day of August, 2000, by and among Cimarron-Grandview Group, Inc., a
Washington corporation ("Cimarron" or the "Company"), Full Moon Universe, Inc.,
a California corporation ("Full Moon"), Charles Band, (Band) and Albert M.

RECITALS
A. Cimarron is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Washington and has authorized capital consisting of 50,000,000
shares of no par value common stock ("Cimarron Common Stock"), of which
16,856,527 shares are issued and outstanding.
B. Full Moon is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
the State of California and has authorized capital stock consisting of 1,000,000
shares of no par value common stock ("Full Moon Common Stock"), of which 100,000
shares are issued and outstanding.
C. The Boards of Directors of Cimarron and Full Moon deem it in the
best interests of the shareholders of their respective corporations that
Cimarron will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Full Moon Common Stock in
exchange for authorized but as yet unissued shares of Cimarron Common Stock (the
"Share Exchange") in accordance with the following terms:
ARTICLE 1
Share Exchange
1.1 Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding share of Full Moon Common Stock
shall be surrendered in exchange for shares of authorized but as yet unissued
Cimarron Common Stock. At the Effective Date (as defined herein) of the Share
Exchange, Cimarron shall be owned as follows:
(1) Current Full Moon shareholders 85 %
(2) Existing Cimarron shareholders 15 %
Due to the fact that additional Full Moon Common Stock may be issued prior
to Effective Date, there is no share exchange ratio set forth herein, but only
the relative percentages that shall be owned by the shareholders of Full Moon
and Cimarron upon Effective Date of the Share Exchange.
1.2 Treasury Shares. Any shares of Full Moon Common Stock held in the
treasury of Full Moon on the Effective Date will not be deemed to be issued or
outstanding for purposes of the Share Exchange. Such shares shall automatically
be cancelled, and no shares of the Cimarron Common Stock will be issued in
respect of such treasury shares.
1.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Cimarron Common Stock
will be issued. In lieu of any fractional share, Cimarron shall pay the
surrendering holder of Full Moon Common Stock cash equal to the value of the
fractional share, based upon the book value of one whole share of Full Moon
Common Stock on the Effective Date.
1.4 Exchange of Shares. On the Effective Date, each holder of one or
more shares of Full Moon Common Stock shall surrender any and all certificates
representing such shares to Cimarron, or its appointed agent, in such manner
7
as Cimarron shall reasonably and legally require. Upon receipt of any such
certificate, Cimarron will issue in exchange therefore a certificate
representing the number of shares of Cimarron Common Stock the surrendering Full
Moon shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of Article
1.1, above.
1.5. Exchange Ratio Adjustment. The parties acknowledge that the
exchange ratios set forth in Article 1.1 are based on Full Moon's projected
after tax earnings. In the event that Full Moon's after tax earnings for the
period from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002 are less than $8,000,000
then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted using the following formula:
[1.00-(X/Y)] x .75 x Z = A
X = Actual after tax earnings
Y = Projected after tax earnings ($8,000,000)
Z = Shares issued to Full Moon in Share Exchange
A = Full Moon Shares to be cancelled
Any accreted after tax earnings attributable to business activities not
currently being undertaken by Full Moon (i.e. acquisition of other business
opportunities) shall not be counted in the calculation of after tax earnings for
the purposes of this Article 1.5.
